Uchiha Tokumitsu's practice lasted for five days, and he didn't return to camp until night.

Before returning to the camp and cleaning up, staff officer Kohei Nara came over.

"Command Deguang." With a gasp after a quick run, Nara Yukihei said breathlessly, "Yesterday the village's herald arrived in the dark, and it is said that Hokage-sama has a new edict for you." ”

"Yesterday?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "Why didn't you send someone to find me?" What if there is such a delay? ”

Nara Yukihei laughed a few times, and he didn't know what to say, even if he wanted to find it, he had to find it and be able to pass through the heavy blockade.

"What is the content of the Hokage's edict? You know? Uchiha Tokumitsu put down his luggage and walked out of the tent without packing it.

"This ...... My subordinates don't know ......" Nara Yukihei replied with a bitter face, the edict passed by the secret department of the Hokage's direct command to the deputy commander of the border force, which could be involved by him, a staff officer who was only responsible for doing odd jobs.

"Where's Homon-sama?" Uchiha Tokumitsu walked slowly towards the big tent of the Chinese army who was handling official business, "Is there an edict for him?" ”

"Hokage-sama received a commendation order from Hokage-sama." Kohei Nara replied quickly.

"Oh......" Uchiha Tokumitsu thought thoughtfully.

After returning to the Chinese army's tent and sitting down, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent Nara Kohei to summon the secret department, and he took care of the intelligence documents himself.

During the few days he was away, the village of Taki Shinobi swept around the territory of his country like crazy, and in the process, he often crossed the border into the country of grass; In this regard, Kohei Nara's advice in the document is to 'remain vigilant and send additional border patrol agents'.

With a stroke of his pen, Uchiha Tokumitsu agreed to the suggestion.

Picking up a few more intelligence documents, but it is the recent developments of the Land of Rain.

The rain ninja army led by the leader of the rain ninja village, Sanshoyu Hanzo, and the sand hidden ninja army that entered its territory engaged several battles on a small scale, and there were victories and defeats against each other, and Hanzo was not able to please the hands of the veteran strong Chiyo advisor led by the sand hide, and then the local war ended with the rain ninja retreating on his own initiative, and the sand hidden village has since gained a foothold on the border of the rain country.

Since then, the foreign ninja village forces in the country of rain are Konoha, Iwakure, and Sand Hide, and they have all established garrison camps within their borders, and the three big ninja villages serve a small country of rain, and there is no one else who has this good fortune.

Opened a piece of information again, but the content was about the Iwain Village of the Land Country, and the content was that the elite demolition troops of Iwain had been frequently mobilized recently, and the Iwain camp located on the outer edge of the northern border of the country of grass also had many abnormal movements, and it seemed to have a tendency to cross the border.

After reading a round of information and not having anything of high value, Uchiha Tokumitsu then put away the pile of papers on the table. At this time, Kohei Nara also walked in with three shadows.

"Command Deguang." Kohei Nara saluted Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Hokage-sama's herald from the shadows has arrived. ”

The three heralds also bowed down to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Encountering such a polite dark part, Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little surprised.

"Commanded by Tokumitsu, on the orders of Hokage-sama, I have come to deliver a special edict for you." One of the leaders took out a scroll and stepped forward to hand it to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

When I opened it, it was about the previous battle of Takino Country, and the siege and killing of the assistant of the Tsuchikage, the secretary of the cloud and the two-tailed man Zhuli with Hagi Shuoshige, for this, the Hokage praised it in the scroll, and the evaluation was quite high, but it also demanded that it be kept secret on the grounds that this matter was important, and the village was only for remuneration and could not be publicized to the public.

In this regard, Uchiha Tokumitsu also expressed understanding.

He didn't want to shout loudly to make everyone known, otherwise if the disgraced Earth Shadow and Thunder Shadow came to the door regardless of their identity, he would not be able to bear it.

In particular, Yun Yin's human pillar force was also killed in battle, and it would take several years for the tailed beast to be reborn, during this period of time, if Yun Yin failed to get the news of the death of the human pillar force in time, it was indispensable to rummage through all kinds of tosses, if this made the barbaric Yun Yin worry about it, the Uchiha ninja army of the country of grass would not be able to eat and walk around.

"Just because of this?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised the scroll in his hand, a little unclear.

"If that's all there is to it, do you need to stay here for a few days in the shadows and wait for me? Say, what's more. ”

The three dark ministers looked at each other a few times, "There is indeed another special matter, but it involves secret affairs...... "The dark department glanced at Nara Kohei who was standing aside.

It's a big deal.

Uchiha Tokumitsu muttered inwardly, but still waved his hand to let Nara Kohei go out first.

"Commander Tokumitsu, Hokage-sama has other special instructions, asking for an immediate approval." The dark side stepped forward again and handed over a scroll.

Uchiha Tokumitsu took it over again, and the contents of the scroll surprised him a little.

"Special Report ......"

The content of the scroll is that Uchiha Tokumitsu must return to Konoha in the near future to report on the situation in the battle of Takino Country and the movement of Iwakure, and to reward him for his merits.

But this content is not a special secret, is it necessary to avoid it?

"Command Tokumitsu, Hokage-sama has a special message." The herald's dark department seemed to see Uchiha Tokumitsu's puzzlement, and explained, "This special report involves the adjustment of the defense areas and combat objectives of the ninja army in all aspects, except for the northwest border defense force, the other border troops and troops stationed abroad have their own commanders who will be ordered to return to the village to discuss the military situation. ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, I see."

The shadows are still motionless.

"What? Anything else? ”

"Commander Deguang, this matter is very important, when do you plan to leave for the village? It's okay for me to wait for the first order. ”

"Tomorrow." Uchiha Tokumitsu thought about it for a while, anyway, there is nothing special about the garrison camp recently, so go back to the village as soon as possible to have a look, and it can be regarded as a vacation.

"Then I'll take my leave." Receiving a reply from Uchiha Tokumitsu, the three dark men also offered to say goodbye and leave.

After the herald left, Uchiha Tokumitsu found the Uchiha Fire Gate and discussed the matter with him again, discussing the so-called 'special report' for several rounds, and finally formed a series of consensus and countermeasures.

Intuition told Uchiha Tokumitsu that this so-called 'special report' may not be simple, since it involves the commanders of each defense area, it is definitely not an understatement on the surface, and it is indispensable for a struggle of words and swords.

At present, through the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, the family ninjas of the Uchiha clan have been able to extend their influence to cover the entire territory of the Grass Country, and at the same time, they have made a lot of profits by manipulating the Grass Country's trade, mission release and capital flow, and almost the entire Grass Country has been pocketed.

In particular, the Uchiha clan still has a tendency to control the grass ninja village, which makes a very small number of people with a heart jealous and hateful.

And the Uchiha high-level leaders, led by the Uchiha Fire Gate, also sent ninjas as the guardian ninja of the Daimyo of the Grass Country, which violated the taboo of the village.

In comparison, in the face of huge interests, the Uchiha clan's exploits under the country of grass are not a great thing.

At this time, it is estimated that the upper echelons of the village will not stop if they don't steal the peaches planted by the Uchiha clan or get a share of the interests of the country of grass.

……

After a long journey, the Uchiha Tokumitsu led his troops back to Konoha Ninja Village, which he was temporarily loyal.

Today is a special day.

The atmosphere in Konoha Village is particularly strong, with carp streamers of various shapes fluttering in the wind, and the ninjas of the police department who were already strict are turning a blind eye to this behavior that could be used by spies to transmit signal information.

Mainly because Konoha's most important New Year is coming, even the most impartial police ninja is particularly tolerant of this.

After going back to the village at the Konoha Gate, Uchiha Tokumitsu walked slowly down the street and paced towards the Hokage Building.

Long before he returned, he had communicated with the Uchiha Homon about the matter, so after returning to the village, he was not in a hurry to go home, but planned to go directly to the Hokage Building to make a 'special report'.

The Uchiha and his entourage walked down the street, and although the merchants and pedestrians along the way dodged, they did not show obvious rejection.

"Deguang-kun!" A familiar voice came.

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned his head to look at him, and the person standing at the window on the second floor of the store to greet him was none other than his old acquaintance Hagi Sakushige.

The smiling silver-haired young man was still as smart as ever.

Dressed in a Konoha sonic vest, carrying a short knife on his back, and his ninja equipment is bulging, he looks like he is ready to go to the battlefield anytime and anywhere.

"Coming back so soon?" Hachiki Sakumo jumped down from the second-floor window and landed firmly beside Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Are you going to go straight to the Hokage Building?" ”

"Yes." Uchiha Tokumitsu also behaved friendly, "Has Shimo Kamishinobu been resting lately?" ”

"The village has been moving quite a lot lately." "I'm also looking forward to the opportunity to fight alongside Tokumitsu-kun again." ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu's heart moved.

"It seems that Shuomao Shangren is so high-spirited, it turns out that he has been promoted." Uchiha Tokumitsu also probed.

"The situation in the ninja world has been turbulent recently, and as a member of the village, it is naturally relatively busy."

"In the direction of the Land of Frost?"

The Land of Frost is a neighbor of the Land of Taki, and Tokumitsu Uchiha uses this as a reference to the Battle of the Land of Taki.

"Hmm...... It is the country of the river; Sunagakure has just recently ceased war with Yunin, and the movement in Kawanokuni is a bit big. ”

On the street, the two of them didn't say anything directly, but they just revealed information to each other with the tacit understanding between them.

We walked and chatted like this, and after a while, we walked in front of the Hokage Building, which looked like a red bucket.

"Okay, I won't delay Deguangjun." Hachiki Shuomao stopped, "Hokage-sama should be waiting, Tokumitsu-kun, you can report first, and we'll talk about it when we're free." ”

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't speak, nodded, and after seeing Hagi Sakumo leave, he walked into the Hokage Building.
